Connecting to the Controller
This section describes how to connect to the controller to use the CLI.
Serial Port Connection
The serial port is located on the front panel of the controller. Connect a terminal or PC/workstation running a
terminal emulation program to the serial port on the controller to use the CLI. Configure your terminal or
terminal emulation program to use the following communication settings.
Baud Rate Data Bits Parity Stop Bits Flow Control
9600 8 None 1 None
The Dell W-7200 Series controller supports baud rates between 9600 and 115200.
Telnet or SSH Connection
Telnet or SSH access requires that you configure an IP address and a default gateway on the controller and
connect the controller to your network. This is typically performed when you run the Initial Setup on the
controller, as described in the Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS 6.4.x Quick Start Guide. In certain deployments,
you can also configure a loopback address for the controller; see interface loopback on page 473 for more
information.
Configuration changes on Master Controllers
Some commands can only be issued when connected to a master controller. If you make a configuration
change on a master controller, all connected local controllers will subsequently update their configurations as
well. You can manually synchronize all of the controllers at any time by saving the configuration on the master
controller.
